Hastings Racecourse in Vancouver, BC, begins its 2024 racing season on Saturday, April 27th, with a first race post time of 2:30 pm PDT and, as is the case with so many tracks, entries have been hard to come by. The opening day card has six races and 34 horses entered. Woodbine’s opening day card, also on Apr. 27, is also light, with 10 races and 73 horses.

The 2024 season marks the debut of Friday night racing, starting on May 10th at 7 pm PDT. Following the success of some test dates in 2023, the track will now run Friday nights and Saturday afternoons for the majority of the 2024 meet. Along with the new evening programs, the track has installed new LED lighting to enhance the visuals for fans watching in person and on TVs everywhere.

The track will also be introducing a brand-new graphics package, giving it a fresh new look and improving the display of the critical betting info.
